Content

2010/2016 panel data file.The data are constructed as panel data (wide format) directly from the repeated cross section. This file contains only the created variables across 2010 and 2016. Variables repeat as 'variable'_# where # is round, i.e. pn_10, pn_16 for the person numbers in 2010 and 2016. If an individual is not present in a round, the variables for that round will be missing. ----> Identifiers:· Findid: unique individual identifier from when individual was first observed----> Weights:· expan_hh: this is the cross-sectional household expansion weight for the full sample and can be used with the rep xs and xs files. This is the main weight you should use in cross-sectional analyses on the household level (using variables from questionnaires 1 and 3 only, household level analyses). This variable is available in the panel, but should not be used for panel analyses; see panel weight below. · expan_indiv: this is the cross-sectional individual expansion weight for the full sample and can be used with the rep xs and xs files. This is the main weight you should use in cross-sectional analyses on the individual level (using variables from questionnaire 2 or individual level analyses). This variable is available in the panel, but should not be used for panel analyses; see panel weight below. · expan_ref_hh: this is the weight, specific to 2016, that is a cross-sectional expansion weight based on only the refresher sample. This is a weight you can use in cross-sectional analyses on the household level (using variables from questionnaires 1 and 3 only, household level analyses).· expan_ref_indiv: this is the weight, specific to 2016, that is a cross-sectional expansion weight based on only the refresher sample. This is a weight you can use in cross-sectional analyses on the individual level (using variables from questionnaire 2 or individual level analyses).· panel_wt_10_16: this is the panel weight, designed for analyses spanning 2010 and 2016. It is not an expansion weight, but normalized to 1.
